No one is quite sure how or exactly when coffee was discovered but there are many legends to it’s origin. According to an Ethiopian legend coffee grown worldwide can trace its heritage back centuries to the ancient coffee forests on the Ethiopian plateau. There, legend says the goat herder Kaldi first discovered the potential of these beloved beans.

The story goes that that Kaldi discovered coffee after he noticed that after eating the berries from a certain tree, his goats became so energetic that they did not want to sleep at night.

Kaldi reported his findings to the abbot of the local monastery, who made a drink with the berries and found that it kept him alert through the long hours of evening prayer. The abbot shared his discovery with the other monks at the monastery, and knowledge of the energizing berries began to spread.

As word moved east and coffee reached the Arabian peninsula, it began a journey which would bring these beans across the globe. Now coffee has become the second most consumed beverage in the world only second to water. So we would say it’s a Big Hit!

As the popularity of coffee has grown so have the many versions of this warm wonderful beverage. But no one has come up with a better form of coffee than the brilliant minds at Elevacity from the Elepreneur program. Elevate Brew, we call this brew “Smart Coffee” for good reason and in fact it has been called the “Smartest Coffee” in the world because of the infusion of Nootropics or cognitive enhancers. Wikipedia defines Nootropics as; ” Nootropics (English pronunciation:/noʊ.əˈtrɒpɪks/noh-ə-TROP-iks), also known as smart drugs and cognitive enhancers, are drugs, supplements, and other substances that improve cognitive function, particularly executive functions, memory, creativity, or motivation, in healthy individuals.” These Nootropic ingredients stimulate the opiates and dopamine in your brain and help produce serotonin that gives you mental clarity by improving your neurotransmitters. This is NOT your average coffee and it’s referenced as a “Functional Beverage” for all the great results achieved just drinking one cup per day.

The Nootropic formula stimulates the opiates and dopamine to make you feel better and more alert with better focus. They improve cognitive function which helps you think clearer with improved memory and you will be able to focus better on your work throughout the day. Many people report a calm or relaxed feeling all while experiencing better mental clarity. It can also help to relieve stress and anxiety by improving your mental state and we could all use a little less stress in our life.

Elevate Smart Coffee also helps you to burn fat and loose weight. While most weight loss products work by just suppressing appetite the Smart Coffee also adds the cognitive element to help convince the brain that you are not hungry. This curbs the sweet cravings and steers you away from junk food. This leads to better weight loss by focusing on your brain and not just your stomach. Then add in the other natural ingredients that burn fat and BOOM, you now have a functional beverage that burns fat, curbs cravings, makes you more alert and puts you in a better mood overall.

The main ingredients in the Elevate Brew are; Rich Dark Roast coffee, Espresso, Organic Cocoa, Green tea, L-theanine, PEA, Green Coffee extract and more. These incredible ingredients in the Elevate Brew help to keep you alert, refreshed and rejuvenated all through the day so you not only experience fat burning but also have higher levels of energy all day long. These thermogenic compounds and appetite suppressants start to melt away fat and help you loose weight naturally without making you think that you are starving. Elevate Brew burns fat, increases metabolism, reduces fatigue and stress, is a powerful antioxidant and reduces sugar and carbohydrate cravings for better weight loss and a better mood.

There are few things you can do to build your business bigger and faster than “Prospecting”. The very term prospect means to “search out or look for”. In the world of Network Marketing the heart of your business is to “search out or look for” new business partners to build your TEAM. There are many different ways to do prospecting and we go through these in our Team Training in great depth. But today we want to discuss the “4 Things Your Prospects NEED from You”.

When you connect with a prospect there is always a certain amount of reservation or mistrust in the initial contact, No One likes to be sold and prospects aren’t any different. Even if you have a great funnel that introduces you and your business to someone and then encourages them to contact you for more info they will always do so with trepidation. It’s very hard to trust someone you don’t really know or have trust with. So there are certain qualities or aspects that your prospects need to receive from you so they can feel comfortable with considering you as a business partner. How you approach and connect with your prospect is going to make ALL the difference in how they respond to your offer.

These are the 4 areas you need to concentrate and express to your Prospect.

Simplicity!

Consistency!

A Game Plan!

Support! ! ! ! ! !

Simplicity is just what it implies. As you talk with a prospect they are always wondering if what you are offering is “Simple” enough for them to do it. Making your presentation as Simple to understand as possible is a very important aspect of prospecting. Your prospect wants to know “Does it work?”, “Can I do it?” and “Will You Help Me?”. So your presentation to your prospect needs to convince them that your business is So Simple that Anyone can do it and they can too. Keep it Simple by expressing an easy to understand business and process that makes your prospect feel comfortable in joining your Team. If they perceive that your business is complicated or hard to do then they will fear that it’s just not for them. Show them how Simple it is to get started, how Simple it is to get their business up and running and some Simple examples of others succeeding with your business. Making it Simple let’s your prospect know that they are capable of succeeding with you and your Team. We use the K.I.S.S. formula of Keep it Super Simple and You can KISS SUCCESS all the way to the bank.

Consistency is very important when dealing with prospects. I guarantee you they are going to search you out and see how “consistent” you are with your business and activity. Are you active on the Team? Do you promote and support your business and company? Have you been in 4 different businesses in the last 6 months? ? ? Being “consistent” and showing your prospects that you are not only there today but will be there tomorrow, next month and with them going forward is very important to creating trust with your prospects. You can do this in many ways but we find it works very well for us to produce content that prospects will find when they do “search us out”. Now not everyone is going to go out and blog or do videos and such but having content out there on social media sites and Youtube can create an image of a very consistent sponsor and create a better level of trust with your prospect. But remember, they want to know “Can I do this?” so make sure your content expresses a Simple way for them to Succeed with You and Your Team.

A Game Plan! This one item is what leads to more failure in Network Marketing than any other aspect. Do you have a game plan? This prospect is thinking to themselves “If I join, can you show me what to do?”. This doesn’t mean that you have to go out and create a detailed master plan for each and every prospect but you, OR your Team, need to have a “Plan of Action” that you can introduce to new team members to get them started with their new business. This also plays into the “Simple” aspect of prospecting. The better your game plan is to get new business members started the better your team and business will grow. Your prospect needs to know that you have a plan if they decide to join your team. Too often people join a Network Marketing business and their sponsor just throws them to wolves and says good luck. This leads to confusion and frustration with their new business and they drop out in the first month or so. Be Sure you have “A Game Plan” for them so they can feel comfortable about joining your Team!

And last but not least, SUPPORT! If your prospect is going to join your Team they need to know that you are going to be there for them as they get going. This does NOT mean that you have to hold their hand and do everything for them because that is a BIG mistake. Once they join they are going to have questions and want to know what to do next. This is where the “Simple” expression of “A Game Plan” and “Consistency” plays a role in their success. Support means that they can count on YOU to answer their questions and get them started. Support means that you are there for them when they need you and that you have a system that they can plug into and start their journey with their new business. This can easily be done on social media like Facebook by having a group page that your new members can plug into and find support from like minded and active Team members. Support doesn’t mean you are there to build their business it means that you are there to guide them along the journey. Prospecting is the life and soul of your Network Marketing business and one of the most important activities to the growth of your business. Mastering these “4 Things Your Prospects NEED from YOU” will help you build and grow your Team and create a better prospect for your business. Make it Simple for them to understand! Be “Consistent” in your presentation and Team activity so they know you are serious about helping them succeed. Have “A Game Plan” so they know that you can help them get started once they join your Team. And show them “Support” and love with a Team culture that makes them want to be a part of Your organization. Remember, all they want to know is “Does this work?”, “Can I do this?” and “WILL YOU HELP ME?”. If you can convince them you have a Simple, Consistent Game Plan that will Support them if they join then Your Team will Explode with growth.

We have structured the Simple Dream Team with just these qualities so Everyone on our Team can prospect with confidence.

A gentleman was walking through an elephant camp, and he spotted that the elephants weren’t being kept in cages or held by the use of chains. All that was holding them back from escaping the camp, was a small piece of rope tied to one of their legs.

As the man gazed upon the elephants, he was completely confused as to why the elephants didn’t just use their strength to break the rope and escape the camp. They could easily have done so, but instead they didn’t try to at all.

Curious and wanting to know the answer, he asked a trainer nearby why the elephants were just standing there and never tried to escape.

The trainer replied; “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”

The only reason that the elephants weren’t breaking free and escaping from the camp was because over time they adopted the belief that it just wasn’t possible.

Moral of the story:No matter how much the world tries to hold you back, always continue with the belief that what you want to achieve is possible. Believing you can become successful is the most important step in actually achieving it.

So, what do you believe? Eleanor Roosevelt said “The Future belongs to those who Believe in their Dreams!” Another great quote is “Whatever You Believe, You Can Achieve” and this is So True. Your belief is the magic that convinces your mind that things are possible and You Can Do It! The subconscious mind will believe whatever you tell it and believe to be true. It’s a wonderful power to control your thoughts and actions. Even Henry Ford said “Whether You Believe You Can or believe you can’t, either way you are still right.” Are you going to be restrained by the limitations that hold you back? Like the elephants in the story we all let silly little beliefs hold us back from Greatness.

We all have this story that we tell ourselves about our ability to achieve success in life. If you constantly tell yourself that you can’t do it or you’re just not capable then you have convinced yourself of that truth and so it will be. But the opposite can also be true. If you constantly tell yourself that “Yes I Can Achieve Success and Greatness” then you are setting out an expectation that you are capable and worthy of success. Believing in Yourself is one of the greatest powers you can posse. It’s all in the story that you continue to tell yourself and believe to be truth.

If you believe that you can achieve it, then visualize what you believe as already true because you can do anything you set your mind to do if you are willing to do what it takes to get there. We always teach to “Commit, Educate and Act!”. Belief is a strong factor in the commitment to your goals. If you believe you can achieve your goals and dreams, and you are willing to commit to making it happen, then you are well on your path to success. But the opposite is also true if you don’t believe. If you believe in Yourself, Anything is Possible.

Belief is all in your head! Work on the story you constantly run through your thoughts. Create a vision that supports that story and builds your dream life. Commit to doing the things that are necessary to get there and educate yourself on the process. Then ACT! ! ! ! Take Massive Action to achieve your dreams and goals. Create a game plan and do the “Daily Activities” required to move your dreams forward. Daily Activities will make ALL the difference in your results and keep you moving forward and not just idling through the day. Commit, Educate and ACT! It all starts with Belief!

This is the magic in Network Marketing. We are Successful because we truly Believe that we are capable and we are willing to do the things necessary to Achieve True Success. So, What do You Believe? We would love to have a conversation with you about your Dreams and Goals. Let’s discuss what you want to accomplish and how you plan on getting there. Success is a science and science is created on fact, and these facts can create the Belief you need to be Successful. We have a step by step plan to help get you on the right path and moving forward if only You Believe that it’s possible.

You can certainly learn a little more about us by visiting our personal website at DeanAndDena.com or feel free to contact us via Facebook by clinking here now. You need a plan, a step by step guide to put you on the path to achieving your Dreams and Goals and We Can Help!

We have a Dream, a Dream so big and so inspiring that it’s just a little frightening. Not because of the fear of what might happen but because of the shear Magnitude of the results. See, we believe in Changing Lives! We believe that we are all summoned to a higher calling in the service of others. People have become so self-serving and self-centered or somewhat selfish in wanting everything or expecting everything now. Some have lost the need and will to give to others in a way that might change someone’s life. When in reality, humanity is in great need of those willing to give and share without concern for a return on their effort. Giving is the Greatest Gift of all and Changing Lives is the best blessing you can ever experience. Changing Lives Changes Everything.

We have a Dream of helping people out of the struggle that has become everyday life for so many families. We have a Dream to Elevate others to a new sense of Health, Wealth and Happiness. Our dream believes that people can be Happier and live a fuller life if they just become aware of the power of the mind. Just becoming aware that you have the power to decide if you are going to be Happy or sad and learning how to control your thoughts by habits practiced everyday. New science proves that by changing some daily habits and being aware of your thought process can begin to change your level of Happiness and how you view your life. We believe that many people are in Great need of a brighter future and more meaning in their life so they can live that Happier and Fulfilled life we all really want.

We have a Dream of Truly Changing Lives and helping others to be more, do more and experience more out of life. Changing Lives by lifting people up out of the struggle so many people are living. The struggle of paying the bills and putting food on the table, the struggle of providing for their family and keeping them safe and well fed. Many struggle with health and basic coverage that is now required by law or penalized for not having it. People are in need of better health and nutrition to rise above the challenge of poor diet and fast food that leads to greater health challenges and cost. Families are struggling to make ends meet and keep everyone healthy and happy. We have a Dream to raise people up and help people to earn an extra income, live a healthier life and just be Happy. We believe in Changing Lives!

We believe that there is a Better Way and we can share ideas and tools that anyone can use to Elevate their life. We believe that people are tired of the everyday life of a J.O.B. that they hate, trading hours for dollars that just barely meet the needs of their family. We believe that gone are the days of “Get a good job and retire in 40 years” to achieve the dream life. We believe that the formula for Happiness is all backwards and Happiness doesn’t come for working your life away to retire at age 65 and then be happy. Success comes for first being Happy and doing something you Love so that you can retire early in life and have the resources to Enjoy helping others. We believe you are over worked and under paid and most people are Not Happy with what they do and how much they get for it. We believe that we can Change Lives through the Power of Network Marketing, it’s not perfect it’s Just Better.

We spent quite some time looking at all the different Network Marketing companies out there and even joining a few just to try their products and get a vibe of what they were doing and how. After a long search we chose to create our own program because we believe that we are truly on a mission to help people Live with Passion and live a Simple LIFE. We are changing the way people look a LIFE by creating a Passion filled LIFE Full of Purpose. Changing Lives by lifting people up and helping them to create extra income, experience travel and finding greater happiness by helping others.

We can elevate your financial situation by helping you start your own business and work for yourself instead of that boss you despise so much. We can elevate your Happiness via better Health and better Wealth. We believe we can help Change Lives with our program and products and helping others do the same.

Ole Zig Ziglar said it best; “You will get All you want out of life, if you just help enough other people get what they want out of life”. What a great quote and inspiration to us all. If you just help others find a “Better Way” then you will begin to change not only their life but you will also change your’s in the process.

My how times have changed. We were born in the early 60’s and grew up through the 70’s and 80’s and it was a Glorious time. Came out of high school before there ever was an internet and learned to type on an old fashioned typewritter. There were no cell phones, no computers and no internet and somehow we still got by. We used to talk all the time, because there wasn’t anything else to do. It was even a big deal to get your allotted time on the phone. You had to go in the hall because there was only one phone in the house and it hung on the wall with one LONG cord that was always a tangled mess. But we Loved to talk! We always sat and talked about everything or anything, it was a Glorious time.

Then came the internet and computers and suddenly you could communicate without even having to write a letter. Email they called it and that was pretty cool. Gone were the days of encyclopedias and libraries as Google ushered in a new way of finding information. Never forget my first computer, a Super 486, think it had a whole 16 megs of ram and a new thing called a disc drive. I remember my dad saying I wasted my money because no one needed a CDRom? He didn’t even think you needed that stupid thing called a mouse, after all you had direction buttons on the keyboard. LOL, that was funny then and still funny today. Then came the cell phone, that big bag thing that weighed 40 lbs. What a marvelous and wonderful piece of hardware that was. You could place a call from anywhere, and maybe get through, wasn’t many towers back then.

But let’s fast forward to Today! Wow, how things have changed. We went from sitting in the hall on a phone that didn’t go NO where to carrying one around in our pocket. Now you could actually place a call from Almost anywhere. And to my continued amazement Apple bust on the scene with a “Smart Phone” that would actually access the internet, Man that’s COOL! This gave birth to Social Media and instant chats with anyone any time. Now you didn’t even have to run home to see what was in your email or who was trying to chat with you, just pull out your Smart Phone and go to town. Now days practically EVERYONE sits around with their head buried in their phone or device. And thus the phenomena arises.

People have become SO Addicted to their device that people don’t talk with those right in front of them. They sit down for dinner or to visit and no one can take their eyes off the phone, they just sit there and stare at the device. Look around, it’s becoming an epidemic. Even the youth are starting to have neck problems from the bad posture of constantly hanging their head down to focus on the phone. You see couples sitting at restaurants just staring at their phone and not even visiting with each other. You get together with friends and next thing you know no one is talking because they are all just caught up in the latest on Facebook or Instagram instead of being “Present” in your company. “Can You Be Present?”

If not then Shame on you. Turn off the damn phone and enjoy the moment you have in the company of a friend or loved ones. Nothing in that phone is even close to being as important as the conversation you could be having but aren’t. Time is SO Precious and we waste SO much of it anyway that when it comes to sitting down, face to face, to be “Present” in the moment don’t waste these precious moments staring into space. How many relationships are destroyed by this technology? I would venture to say A Lot! As a man that has been married for 35 years and still best friends I can tell you that “Talking” is a major component of a relationship. If you are ignoring your significant other because you are more interested in that cute meme on Facebook I can promise you that your are headed for trouble. Take advantage of the time you have together, which usually isn’t that much, and just be Present in the moment and TALK. You will be amazed at how much better you get along when you are visiting, laughing and enjoying each others company.

So, how does this relate to Network Marketing? You knew I would get around to it! Here’s the deal, we Network by having meetings and giving presentations about our opportunity and or products. I can tell you that Nothing gets under my skin faster than someone I am trying to talk about my business with that keeps getting interrupted every five minutes by their phone. And the same goes for us as Professional Network Marketers, if you have someone that went to all the trouble to meet up with you, and hear your presentation about your products or opportunity, and all you can do is keep stopping to see who’s calling or what was that message then you lost the battle already. BE PRESENT when you are in the presence of a prospect. Put the phone down, turn it off if you have to, but give your prospect 100% of your attention. You can not be effective when you are constantly interrupted by your phone.

Same goes for the prospect. The meeting with a prospect is not about how good you are it’s about “Are they Qualified to partner with You in your business?” If they can not even give you 30 or 45 mins uninterrupted then how are they ever going to focus on building a business. When you let a prospect take control of the situation and their phone is more important than you, then you are coming from a position of weakness. You are letting them dictate the terms of the meeting. Never let them have control of the meeting. You are the one interviewing them to see if they are qualified, not the other way around. I know, to some of you this sounds harsh and you think I’m being arrogant, but I’m not. See, I am a Professional Network Marketer that takes my Profession and my Mission Very Seriously. I am not just looking for anyone with a heartbeat to be on my team. I am looking for someone So Hungry they Have to Succeed. I want the one that wants it more than me, the one that pays close attention to everything and hangs on every word you speak. The one that takes notes and ask questions that are relevant to their Success in this business. If someone can’t take put that phone away and Be Present while I put my time and effort into showing them the Best Plan Ever, then I don’t need them and neither do you.

Be Present, pay attention to the moment and listen to what others are saying to you. You might just learn some things that could carry you through to a happier place and time in life. Be Present, because tomorrow might never come and you may have wasted the last chance you had to say what you wanted to say or hear what you wanted to hear. Be PRESENT, Because that’s Respect! Just Be Present! Live today not in your phone but face to face, You’ll Be Glad You Did!

We are Professional Network Marketers that hold the up most Respect for this business and we are looking for others just like us. If you don’t have time, that’s fine cause I don’t either. But if you have the Desire to do Whatever it takes to Succeed and Reach Your Dreams, then I got all the time in the world for you. Let’s have a conversation, face to face, belly to belly to discuss how we might come together and partner up for the ride of a Lifetime with our Simple Dream TEAM. If you would like to know more about us, Who we are and What we do and Why then you can always come visit our personal webpage at DeanAndDena.com to know more. There is info on what we are doing that lets us live the Simple Life that most only wish for And, How it might benefit you to get Serious about what you are doing to Reach Your Dreams and Goals. We Can Help! And we would Love To!

Need a Simple formula to build your business. Here is a 3 Step Formula to Build Your Business and you can’t afford to miss one step. It really comes down to three basic steps of 1. Grow, 2. Get Leads and 3. Get Sales. So lets discuss each one in detail.

GROW, You have to grow as a person and a Network Marketer to become a better person from the inside and you have to do this on a daily basis. This growth is where you hone your skills and mindset to expand your personal belief system and become better at what you do. This is super easy to do via reading books, online training and even speaking with your mentor or coach. There are so many great books like Go Pro from Eric Worre, Millionaire by Halftime by Presley Swagerty, or one of my favorite mentors right now Matt Morris and The Unemployed Millionaire.

GET LEADS! This is one of the most important parts of this simple formula because you have to have “leads” to speak with. I was listening to a training the other day by Mike Hobbs and he was talking about the “Two Buckets” that we have to fill each day to keep the flow of leads coming in. The first bucket is the “Results Now” and the other is the “Results Later”. The results later bucket is filled over time by doing the activities like building websites, capture pages, blogging, doing videos, YouTube and all the things you should be doing But it takes time to get your content built up where you can start to see a flow of leads coming in via your blog or videos or what ever you do to build content. The problem is that too many people spend all their time doing this “Results Later” plan and get discouraged by their lack of building because they don’t see results right away. If you are patient and work diligently then this will work over time.

But You really need to focus on the “Results Now” bucket so that you always have a constant flow of people looking at your program. You can fill your now bucket with things like your warm market, Facebook and just the people you run into everyday. Many of us have burned through our warm market and or won’t even go there but you should. The secret to working your warm market is that you Can Not be tied to the Outcome. Just show them what you are doing and let them decide if it’s right for them with no concern on your part if they join or not. With warm market all you can do is share and let them decide if it right for them now or not. And, what might not seem right now can definitely change in time. Your job is not to drag them into the business but to offer a solution or a great product and just let them decide. But as soon as you have done this with warm market then you can certainly turn to Facebook to find more people to talk to. But whatever you do, DO NOT just run to Facebook and start posting your link, nobody cares and most are put off by people like that. All you need to do is start up conversations, comment on other peoples post, thank them for liking your post, ask them what they do, find out what they like or don’t like about it and Just Start a conversation. There are Millions of people on Facebook you can meet and start a conversation about life in general then when the moment is right offer a solution or great product that might help them with a challenge like they don’t have enough time with their family, they hate dropping the kids off at daycare, they have more month than they have money or whatever you learn in the conversation that you might be able to help them with. Facebook is a vast media to meet as many people as you can talk with that you can find prospects and new team members with, Just Start the Conversation.

Last but not least is GET SALES. There is an old saying that the “Fortune is in the followup” and you have to follow up with your prospects and get them in front of the presentation.

We are 110% Committed to helping others achieve their biggest dreams via Network Marketing and we would love to connect with you and talk about our Simple Dream TEAM.

Have you noticed how Scattered some people are with their marketing efforts? It never ceases to amaze me how people jump around on the internet with this program today, that program tomorrow and Oh Oh, there’s another new program over there. LOL, it’s simply crazy how scattered some people are and then wonder why they don’t make any money with what they are doing.

We started in Network Marketing before there was an internet and “internet marketing”. It was really different back then because there were only a hand full of companies and programs and people weren’t bombarded with new programs everyday. We did the old school approach of “speak to anyone that will listen” even going to the mall roaming around just trying to pitch anyone on our business. Now I’m not saying it was easier back then at all, it was difficult to find new prospects because we didn’t have a few billion people at the click of a mouse. We actually had to make the best of what we had to work with. We practiced the “three foot rule”, we made our list and we got to work. We didn’t have a million options of how to market so we just buckled down and got to work.

Then cam the internet and it truly was a Game Changer when it came to marketing. Suddenly we had email and websites and all the Fabulous tools to help us present or program and connect with new people. This was truly going to change everything! And it did, now we could connect with people all over the country or even the world. No longer were we limited to our surroundings and geographical location. Then came Google, what the heck was a “Google”? Little did we know just how powerful one little website would be and how it would change how people searched for information. Then the gurus said “You have to have a website” and we all tried to figure out how the heck do you do that. It Really was a Crazy time in learning about this whole internet thing.

Now the internet is grown way beyond what any of us ever thought it would be and you can find more info in a millisecond search then you can process in a months time. We all finally figured out how to build a website and get our self listed “online” so that we could now learn about SEO and keywords and on and on it goes. Oh, the good ole days of learning how this “internet” thing was working out. Fast forward to 2016 and things have gotten so much easier and now there’s Facebook and Social Media all over the place. It really is the most connected this world has ever been. Now you can keep up with Everyone in a moments notice and follow people you have never even met in person but are friends with anyway. What a Great way to start a relationship with the world.

But my friends here is the challenge. It is So Easy these days to throw up a website and launch a new “business” with a flashy and hype filled banner that new programs appear almost everyday. People are bombarded with new offers so often that it makes it hard to focus on anything much less the task at hand. Having been online now for many years and having the same Gmail account for years and years I have been added to so many list that it fills my spam box everyday with the next Great offer to come along since . . yesterday. It’s kind of funny and sad all at the same time how people jump from program to program thinking they are fixing to miss out on instant fame and fortune. Sorry guys but this is one of the worst mistakes you can make.

I know some really good people that promote so many different programs and money games that you just can’t take them serious because tomorrow they are going to show you the next great money maker. The average person finds it challenging to build one business much less 5 or 10 different businesses. The internet is a Great tool for connecting and building a relationship with people all over the world and should be used for the great tool that it is. But don’t let it kill your business by keeping you scattered and unfocused. Don’t fall for money games and fly-by-night companies that promise the instant riches if you just join today. We have watched SO MANY companies come and go over the years it’s not even funny. So many people loose money to these games played on hype and get rich quick schemes it kills people’s dreams and check book with broken promises. The Flavor of the Month comes and goes every single month only to disappear with everyone’s money in a matter of no-time, It’s just Crazy what people will fall for.

We get approached almost daily with the new Flavor of the Month business idea or company and we understand how hard it is to stay focused BUT we don’t play those games. We can promise you here and now that we will NOT bring multiple offers and new businesses to you because we are Super Focused on what our goals are and how we are making them happen. We might bring you a new tool from time to time if we find something that really works for us but we are Focused on the prize and we’re In It To Win IT! Focus is the true secret to Success in Network Marketing. If you are not focused and committed to what you are doing then your are just wasting your time and hurting others by misleading them with a get rich quick mindset. Get Focused and You will find Success in your Network Marketing business.

Focus is the single most important skill you can learn to be successful. When you are focused on your company, products and Your TEAM then you will see growth in what you are doing. If you are scattered then your team will be scattered as well and no one will achieve there goals like that. People will follow, and do what you do, not what you say but what YOU DO! If you are focused and you make all the webinars and calls within your company, constantly building your TEAM and training them to be great leaders then you will find Massive Success in this profession. But if you fall for every new Flavor of the Month that comes along, always promoting something different and new then no one can figure out what the heck you are doing anyway. Don’t let the Flavor of the Month kill your business and destroy your reputation as a Professional Network Marketing machine.

We are So Totally focused on Home Business right now. We are out to build a Large and Dynamic TEAM in here and we promise to be here today, tomorrow and next week building our TEAM and working this business. We are 110% focused on what we are doing and you should be also. The Flavor of the Month club does not meet here and we are only interested in working with those that are committed, wholeheartedly, to their success. Be a Professional about what you are doing and people will take you Seriously and join you because of it. If you play games you will attract game players, if you get Serious then you will attract the Serious partners that want to achieve Massive Success and become Professional Network Marketers.

If you are interested in “who we are and what we are doing” then check out our personal website at DeanAndDena.com. You can get to know us a bit and see what we are all about, just in case you didn’t get if from the post above? lol. We are 100% committed to building our TEAM and we would love to have a conversation with you about what we are doing. All you have to do is reach out and connect, however works for you, and let’s start the conversation about Your Success Today!

There are a lot of people that are doing “professional” coaching right now and this is becoming a Big Business around the industry. We believe that coaching is a very important part of your success in Network Marketing and it can make a big difference in your ability to break-through and reach massive success. We all need coaches to help get us moving toward our goals and doing the things that need to be done so our business thrives instead of stalling. There is also a difference in “training” and “coaching” that we see going on in the industry. You can be trained via education and studying in the skills that will put you on the right path, and this is very important. But a Coach can help you take that training and develop a game plan that will put that training to work.

Both are very important because you need the training to learn the business and develop the skills that can help you move forward in Network Marketing and you need coaching to help you put these skills to work. But there are a lot of people right now that are Focused on coaching and developing their coaching business. They are building products that help their clients achieve more and build their business, no matter what “opportunity” or “program” they are in, and that is their focus. There is nothing wrong with this at all, it has become Big Business in this industry. So here is the question we asked in the title. “Should You Plant Your Flag?” And what we mean by this is; Should you anchor and or promote your business opportunity via your marketing efforts?

Many of the “Coaches” today say that you should never even mention your company or opportunity in your videos or promotions and just focus on serving the masses. Well, that is fine if you just want to be a “coach” and sell your online products to everyone in the business. Some of the biggest names we know and follow in this industry preach this philosophy but mainly because they are trying to sell their online products and coaching series to the masses. They try and serve Everyone in any company thus increasing their audience and sales. This is fine if you are just interested in coaching and promoting your own products and marketing to anyone in any program. Many are preaching the “Attraction Marketing” idea of putting out lots of value via their content and attracting people to them so they become the hunted instead of the hunter. AGAIN, nothing wrong with this if that is what you are trying to accomplish and be a big name coach. Often they say “never mention your company because companies fail and you will loose your business.”, and there is some truth to that as well.

But we choose to “Plant Our Flag” and be a product of the products and company that we believe in. Is this risky to some degree? Absolutely because companies do run into problems, owners get greedy and sometimes companies fail, it’s business. But you can use the same “Attraction Marketing” to attract people to you And your company via the value in your content and promotion of your chosen company. We do this all the time, read down the different post here on our blog and you will see what we mean. Here is the difference, we did our homework and due diligence on the company we have chosen, and we believe they are good people with a great and exclusive product that are interested in disrupting the industry with fair and ethical treatment of the distributors. This has given us a great confidence in who and what we are promoting.

Attraction Marketing is a great way to not only find prospects but also show them who you are and what you are all about. We promote our company very heavily so that when people hear about this new company and go searching on Google or other search engines, then they Are going to run into our content. People might hear of a new company and have interest in the company or the product BUT, they join with people that they see as leaders or at the least, very active in the company. We put out lots of content that is relative to success in the industry And with our chosen company. We use keywords and many phrases that are picked up by the search engines so that as people come looking Boom, there we are. And we have Planted Our Flag with our company and products so that we can attract people that are interested in our mission to succeed with our company.

So the conversation continues, “Should You Plant Your Flag?” or not. We see both sides of this conversation and we understand why some do and some don’t. If your mission is to become a big time coach to anyone in the business then I guess you should not be tied to just one company and associate your strategy with one brand. But if your mission is to achieve Massive Success in the company you have chosen to work with then branding yourself as a leader in that company does make sense. One of the biggest problems we see in the industry, and with this strategy, is that people often associate with too many different companies at one time and it just confuses prospects on what their real mission is. If you are promoting three different money games, two different ad programs, and several different products and programs then nobody is going to take you serious when you come out and talk about your new company. This is a big problem and way too many people are so scattered that no one can figure out what they are really doing. If you are going to “Plant Your Flag” then by all means, Plant Your Flag and stay focused.

We have planted our flag with Our Home Business program that promotes a Simple LIFE through Networking. We promote Wealth through one of the most exciting rewards programs ever introduced in Network Marketing. Don’t believe me just search the term “Simple Dream Team” via Google and see who pops up, bet you will find Dean and Dena on page one. That’s just how we planned it.

Sometimes life is such a struggle. We all go about our daily grind just trying to make ends meet and find some way to get ahead and then Pow, right in the kisser comes life again. We all been there and done that. So, I Proclaim today that “I Quit”. I am tired of trying to work so hard to get ahead and pay the bills. I am tired of living paycheck to paycheck and praying for a miracle to come and take me away. I am just tired of the struggle that we call the “American Dream”. What happened and why are so many fighting just to survive?

If you look around today at what’s really going on you realize that there is a Revolution happening all around. It’s happening in politics, in the way people do business, the way people communicate and socialize and even the way we live our lives. People are “Tired” of how things are going and the directions that many things around them are taking. Living expenses keep rising and bills stack up, some people are so far in debt that they can’t see a light at the end of the tunnel any longer. Hope seems to fade and people are feeling beat down and slavish to the system. Gone are the days of “get a good job, be loyal so the company will be loyal back and in 40 years just retire”. Things are changing and the Revolution is happening right before our eyes for those that choose to see.

SO, I Quit! But not like you think. See, I have BIG Dreams about a fantastic life filled with Great people, fun travels and helping others learn to Dream again. I have had this vision for many years but I was too busy to pursue my Dreams. Life has a way of getting in the way of our Dreams because we are too busy to do something about it. We got to get up early, get the kids to school, fight your way through traffic to get to your job you hate anyway. Put in a full day of slaving to the grind and listening to the boss demand more and more of your time, only to rush home and deal with all the things that keep us so busy with life. Got to make dinner, kids homework, clean the house a bit and just relax a moment before you go to bed and get up to do it ALL over again. Sound Familiar? Another day gone and one step farther away from your Dreams instead of closer.

We have been there as well, we spent most of our life just getting by, working for the man and living for the weekend. But I Quit! I quit making excuses for not pursuing my Dreams, I quit letting life get in the way of what I Really wanted to accomplish. I quit listening to people that told me “You can’t do that”, I quit hanging out with those that are negative and toxic in life and just want to drag me down to their level. I quit thinking about what I should do and actually started Doing It. I quit thinking the video camera and the phone weighed 800 pounds and started picking them up and taking Action on things that were going to bring about change. I quit talking about all the things I was going to do and Started DOING Them.You see, we believe there is a Revolution going on today and people are tired of the way things are and they looking to do something different that is going to make a change in their life. There are a LOT of people, just like us, that are reaching their 50’s and going “oh crap, what now?”. We have run into so many people lately that are reaching their later years and realizing that they have to do Something and need to do it NOW! Listen closely you young peeps, You will be better served if you make these changes now, in your younger life, then wait till your 50 to get started. But even to those that are realizing that now is the time and today is the day, congratulations and Welcome to the Revolution.

A Revolution is described as a fundamental change that happens when the “people” rise up and revolt against current authorities or situations. And we believe that is what is happening all around us today. People are tired of the status quo and they looking for a better way. This is also happening in Network Marketing as well and people are looking for a new kind of company and a new culture that is designed to support the distributor or partner instead of just making the owners rich. We are tired of over priced products and comp plans that disqualify you from money you earned because you missed the mark by a hair or they changed the comp plan or whatever they can think of to keep from paying you what you worked so hard for. People are looking for a better way! Mr. Eric Worre, The Network Marketing PRO, says that “Network Marketing isn’t perfect. . . Just Better!” And we believe this with every ounce of energy we can muster. It’s better than your J.O.B. or current situation that keeps you a slave to the grind just getting by.

There is a New Revolution that is taking place and a new way of doing business that is going to Disrupt the Networking and MLM industry. Things are changing and a New Culture of Passion and Love of Living is being born through a company called American Dream Nutrition. There is a new vision of how to Elevate people to new heights in there life with financial rewards, a Passion for Health and Happiness with Social groups that can literally change the world. We are changing the way Network Marketing is going to impact people and raise more people up without hurting others in the process. Everybody wins because this program benefits Everybody. You hate Network Marketing? Great this program is perfect for you. Your Not a recruiter? Great this program is for you. You want to build a TEAM and create a life-changing Residual Income? Great, this program is Right for You.

I Quit! And I am SO Glad I did. I quit letting others control my destiny and determine my lifestyle and worth. I Quit making excuses why I couldn’t and started taking Action so I Can! I Can do more, be more and give more to my fellow man. I quit wishing things would change and now I am Making things change that are going to create a better life for us and all the others that are seeking help. I quit being a victim and started being a Victor! You can quit too and we would Love to Help You find a better way. It might not be perfect but it’s Way Better than being a slave to the system.

Everyone is looking for some kind of “Change” in their life. For some it’s to change their current financial situation for others it’s a change of status or lifestyle or even where you live, but “Change” is a common desire for most people. This desire to change current situations can be a growing experience or, for some it is the change itself that holds so many people back from their dreams. Many people want to change but they don’t have a big enough reason to make the change so today we ask; “Is Your Reason Good Enough?”

Sometimes this “reason” is also referred to as your “Why” and it really determines your ability to make the change you desire. If you are seeking to change a situation then you have to have a big enough “reason” or “why” that is going to move you to do the things necessary for the change to occur. Too often we meet people that want to change this or that but when you really drill down, we discover that their reasons just aren’t big enough to make them commit to the task needed to see the change come about. This change can also be smothered in fear and doubt that squashes many personal dreams and goals. Your reason for change has to be the core motivation that is going to move you away from your comfort zone and toward your desired change.

The second level of this “reason” is your commitment to your why. Are you committed and determined to this “why” enough to actually do the things necessary to change? Sometimes we want change and we even know why but actually doing something about it is a whole different story. Your degree of commitment is going to determine the outcome of what you want to change and this commitment must be strong for some reasons and even stronger for others. If you are totally committed to making a change in your current situation then you will find a way to make it happen but if not, you will just find an excuse why it didn’t. The infamous Jim Rohn had a saying: “If you don’t like how things are then Change, You are not a tree!”

If you really want to change things in your life then you need to connect with your “Emotional Why”. We normally change things from an Emotional stance more often then an Intellectual stance because our emotions have more effect than just a thought. If you just think about a change, it can become just a passing thought but when you are emotional about making a change then you have a bigger reason to find an answer to the situation. This emotional why is what can move you and cause you to work out a plan that will increase your chances of success and change. We ask people “Why are you starting a home based business?” and we often here “I want to make more money”, and though that is a good reason that is not an emotional why. The bigger question would be “What do you want to do with this money that is going to make you want to get busy and build your business?” Is it pay off your mortgage? or buy a new car? or help send your kid to college? or what? See, this is an Emotional Why and not just a quick simplified reason.

We have to dig deep and define Exactly what the reasons are that we are going to succeed in our new business endeavor and change our current situation. Don’t throw out generalizations about why but find specific reasons and desired outcomes that will define, to a tee, exactly what this success or change looks like. Create a mental picture of Exactly what you want the outcome to be and build on the exact reasons you are willing to go the extra effort to get there. This emotional why is going to determine if you actually get there or not and if your “reason” or “why” isn’t strong enough then you will not find the will and determination to create the change. So we ask again, “Is Your Reason Good Enough?”

We have been working with children fighting cancer for almost 9 years now and really love this blessed work. The need is Great and there are many families that are fighting this horrible disease of childhood cancer. We started out just doing small fund raisers to help local kids and quickly connected with many others with the same needs. We then started a Hope Box Program where we sent boxes of presents to brave fighters all over the country that included whatever they wanted and needed to bring just a moment of happiness into their troubled lives. We always included the other siblings in the household so no one gets left out and really enjoy the smiles and joy that we get back when their parents send back pictures. This continued to build until we had to create a legal Non Profit Foundation 501 c3 because it was just getting to big to do as a hobby and we needed the funding to continue our mission. We now hold many big events for our fighters and families throughout the year and we enjoy getting together with all these families on a regular basis. We Love what we are blessed to do, but childhood cancer is a horrible world to witness and watch as families see their children experience treatments, hospital stays and even the loss of their baby and loved one. It really is heart wrenching but the joy of loving and giving to these families is what makes it all worth the effort.

This is our “Emotional Why” and the reason we are completely committed to being successful with our home business. In times of doubt and frustration we know that we have no choice but to get up and do it again because we have so many depending on us to help them in need. All the programs and events we do cost a lot of money and we are blessed to be able to do this work. Our success in business is what is going to connect us with like minded people and companies that are going to help us carry on this great work and bless these families with Hope and Love in anyway we can. We are 100% committed to our Emotional Why and know exactly what the reasons are for making sure we expand our value to this cause. It’s not just a want-to attitude, it’s a Must DO attitude that keeps us going and moving forward so we can help more brave fighters and their families in a time of great need.

So, “Is Your Reason Good Enough?” We don’t tell you about our “why” to gloat or brag about the work we do, we tell you this to help you connect with Your Emotional Why. If you are looking to change something or achieve a desired goal in life then you need to connect with the REAL Reason that you are going to make it happen. What is IT that is going to make you jump out of bed and get busy, what is it that is going to make you step out of your comfort zone and do something that your future self is going to thank you for? Change is easy to talk about and simple reasons are a dime a dozen but true Emotional Why’s are the core of creating change. We should all spend more time talking with the person in the mirror and digging deeper to understand the real reasons that we are going to “Go For It” instead of just talk about it. Take a little time to truly connect with your Emotional Why and you will start to see things in a different light and seek out answers instead of excuses.

Our Why is bigger than any one of us and constantly moves us to be more, do more and experience more in this Wonderful twist of events we call life. If you need some help discovering your true Emotional Why then Please reach out and let’s connect. Sometimes if we just ask better questions and dig deeper we find out what is really important in life and what really matters to us all. Our Foundation is called Battle For a Cure Foundation and we would love your support. We Stand with the Smallest Fighters in a Battle of a Lifetime and support the whole family in Great times of need. We funded our first clinical trial into brain cancer last year and we are getting ready to fund a new trial this year to help find a cure for this horrible disease. These trials are very expensive but without the trials into new medications and treatments they will never find a cure. These events and programs we do take funds to make them happen and we always need the help from volunteers and donations. You can find our webpage at Battle4aCure.org or connect with us via Facebook by clicking here. We try to keep everyone up to speed on what is going on and provide updates on many of our brave fighters. If you find it in your heart to help, it would be Greatly Appreciated.
